4 Reasons Why Honey and Lemon Make a Great Drink (Weight Loss Tips!)

1. Getting Rid of Fat Deposits

Going on a honey and lemon diet can help relieve you of your
weight problem.
Obesity is the physical condition of the body when excessive deposition of fat takes place in the tissues, putting a strain on the heart, kidneys, liver and the joints such as the hips, knees and ankles and thus, overweight people are susceptible to several diseases like
diabetes,
high blood pressure,arthritis,
liver and gall bladder disorders.

2. Lowering Cholesterol

Honey is an excellent
natural home remedy
for obesity and lowering of
cholesterol
levels. It mobilizes the extra deposited fat in the body allowing it to be utilized as energy for normal functions and purifying the blood as a result. Fasting on honey and lemon-juice,
an alkaline food,
is highly beneficial in the
treatment of obesity
without the loss of energy and appetite.

3. Great for Cleansing and Digestion (Warm is Best)

Can I Drink it Cold? Some people said they could stomach only ice water and asked if they could prepare an icy cold honey and lemon (or cider vinegar) drink instead of the suggested warm concoction. Many of us have probably come across arguments that cold water helps in losing weight because it forces our body to raise its temperature and burn calories as a result. It is not known how significantly it helps in burning calories, but contrary to this theory, many cultures (especially Ayurveda system and Traditional Chinese Medicine) advise against the excessive consumption of cold water as it affects the digestive acids in the stomach and believe that warm water aids in digestion. A glass of cold lemonade definitely does help to beat the heat and quench thirst on a hot day and bring much refreshment after an intense grueling workout. But if you are watching your weight, in the morning before breakfast especially, warm water helps in cleansing the system, kick-starts our metabolism for efficient fat burning, and hence overall supports weight loss. Poor digestion of food can cause a build-up of toxins and undigested proteins in the intestine. The toxins can accumulate fat cells and lead to immune and inflammatory responses which are all linked to weight gain.

4. Easy to Make

For this natural cure, mix one teaspoon of raw honey (unheated) with the juice of two teaspoons of lime or lemon juice in a glass of warm water (not boiling hot water!). Take this remedy as a wake-up drink once in the morning on an empty stomach. Also commonly taken after a big and oily meal, this simple delicious tonic is an effective digestive and
detox
tonic. And of course, in every successful weight loss program, do bear in mind that principles such as forming healthy eating habits and diets, and keeping to a
regular exercise
regime over the long run are extremely important as well.
